!Molding and Clear Markers on the Silver TA! With the orange car 6hrs away at a lilhotrod's house I was bored to death so I decided to go ahead and take the side moldings off of my silver car. I know thats an easy enough mod usually but I had attempted to do it about a year ago and discovered the car had been recleared at some point and they had painted over the moldings. So rather than dealing with the paint line I just left the moldings on. Well I couldnt stand them anymore so I pulled them off and wet sanded the lines out. It took some time but it looks perfect now. I also got around to putting the clear marker lights in that I had bought from a fellow member sometime last year.
These pics were taken after a 6hr round trip to AL this weekend...so its not spotless! AND...I have a WS6 on the way for it...it should be here by the end of next week!!!

Looks good I plan to get the clear side markers pretty soon, Ive been debating on removing my mouldings but after sitting in my car one day only to watch someone open their door into it I have second guessed it.

they do but i dont have a link. never considered doing clears since I they would stand out more on bright red. im sure plenty of online sites, or maybe auto stores, have them though.
and yes, they do light up the right color.

Yeap, silver and white are really the only colors that pull of the clears well IMO. I will pick some of the lights up. I didnt even know they made them. Hell these bulbs have what look like little colored rubbers on them to make them the right color. Kind of tacky!!!

BTW we have been watching for shows in the Opelika, Auburn area....if you hear of any please PM me! I think there was one in Alexander City Sat but we didnt know anything about it (we didnt get into town until 4 and saw cars leaving.)
Oh hell yeah! I didn't know about the Bridge Street show, is is Sat?
And I'm moving to Auburn in a couple months for school so I'll definitely let you know about any shows I hear of.
